Several kids I knew from middle school appeared on About Anglia in the mid-80s because the new high school intake year had six sets of twins in it or something.

It must say something for the job market of the 1970s that FS could screw up a job one week, and find another job to screw up by the next episode.

As someone who lives in Norwich, I'm pleased to see our empire extends halfway towards Wales.

What, no mention of former Quarrymen bassist Paul McCartney?

The one and only time I watched Naked Attraction there was a guy with a wolf's face tattooed across his entire throat area and it seemed the basis of his entire 'personality'.

My Dad used to own a Mk 4 Cortina. I threw up in it a lot.

A 1981 edition of Something Else featured the Viz team, who got drunk for the occasion and wore false moustaches. The production team convinced them to 'draw' the show's closing credits for nothing, saving the BBC a few quid. Roger Mellie's producer Tom is based on SE's producer.

I only became of 'man alive!' as an expression because Danny Baker kept saying it during Morning Edition on 5 Live in the early 90s.

I didn't bother with talking, as far as I know I went straight to reading and gawping at the telly.

You say that, but the runaway car sequence in Capricorn One haunted me for decades after Tiswas showed it two weeks running.

I thought the very same thing! I think the episode was 'Stop Me If You've Heard This One, But There Were These Two Fellers...' Bernard Cribbins is murdered as well!

It's always tiresome when TV critics latch onto a show's SFX. Even Clive James was guilty of doing that. The BBC Triffids were more an improvement on 1963 movie versions and their depiction on the early covers of the novel, which look like something that fell out of a Womble.

I heard something about 'open all night', but apart from that...

Richard II Act 3, Scene 3. "That every stride he makes upon my land Is dangerous treason: he is come to open
The purple testament of bleeding war;
But ere the crown he looks for live in peace,
Ten thousand bloody crowns of mothers' sons
Shall ill become the flower of England's face,"

I never liked Playaway being shown on a Saturday afternoon, I was glued to Grandstand or World of Sport for the football updates.
